Hope Street Rag

HB586

Written for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir. Level 4-. A relaxed, chromatic opening gives way to a joyful ragtime feel in Karen Lakey Buckwalter's original tune, dedicated to those touched by cancer. Dance-like and upbeat, the song carries the listener along on a musical journey that turns dark in the middle before the light of hope brings the tune around to major once more. A good, rhythmic challenge for any advanced choir.
